Additional Details

The TC74HC640AP comes in a DIP-20 (Dual In-line Package). The direction of data flow is controlled by the DIR input. When DIR is LOW, data is transmitted from A bus to B bus. When DIR is HIGH, data is transmitted from B bus to A bus. The output enable (OE) input controls the 3-state outputs. When OE is LOW, the outputs are enabled; when OE is HIGH, the outputs are in a high-impedance state. The device utilizes CMOS technology, which allows low power consumption and high noise margins.

The supply voltage range is between 2V and 6V. Correct setup and hold times must be met for proper bus operation. The device is designed to be compatible with other HC series logic components.
